Tree supported structure

A tree supported structure, comprising:

• a first annular member having a plurality of inwardly pointed members;
• outwardly extending first supports mounted on the annular member;
• a first platform connected to said supports;
• and a second annular member with a plurality of inwardly pointed members, the second member being above the first annular member and having a plurality of first tension members with top ends connected to the second annular member and bottom ends connected to the platform.

A tree structure, comprising:

• a tree having a vertical trunk;
• three vertically spaced-apart annular members extending about the trunk, each said annular member having an outside and a plurality of pointed members extending downwardly and inwardly into the trunk, a first said annular member being below a second said annular member and above a third said annular member, the outsides of the first and third annular members having a plurality of joist supports and the outside of the second annular member having a plurality of cable anchors;
• a plurality of floor joists extending radially outwards from the first and third annular members, the joists having inner ends connected to the joist supports;
• outer members connected perpendicularly to each said joist, the outer members being connected together to form first and second outer rings extending about the tree trunk radially outwards from the first and third annular members respectively;
• two platforms mounted on the joists;
• first cables having top ends connected the cable anchors of the second annular member and bottom ends connected to the first ring;
• second cables having top ends connected to the first outer ring and bottom ends connected to the second outer ring;
• a roof extending over the first cables and between the second annular member and the first outer ring;
• and
• outer walls extending between the outer rings.
